The Science of Plant-Based Nutrition: How to Enhance the Power of Plants for Optimal Health

With an overwhelming weight of evidence suggesting that plant-based eating is the way forward for both the planet and people, there are a wealth of misconceptions and unanswered questions that need to be addressed to help support not just the health of the population, but the health of the planet, too.

In The Science of Plant-Based Nutrition, leading nutritionist Rhiannon Lambert is here to equip you with everything you need to know about plant-based diets, separating fact from fiction to help you and your family understand the importance of nutrition on our health while minimizing the impact we have on the environment. As with any diet, when you change what you eat, you also have to change the way you eat and how you think about food. This is simple, flexible, and nutritionally approved advice to help you navigate a plant-based diet without compromising on health. It’s more important than ever to execute this way of eating correctly and to equip you all with the need-to-know nutritional basics.

Covering every conceivable topic--from vegan and plant-based diets, sustainability, physical and mental health outcomes, and nutrition across the lifespan, to individual nutrients and supplements (and everything in between)--this book offers clear answers with informative graphics, making it easy to understand in order to enable you to make informed decisions that are best suited to your lifestyles about what, when, and how to eat responsibly for our own and the planet’s health and happiness.
